This was interesting. I was raised Lutheran, but didn't quite feel I fit. I took the test, and I'm Mainline- Liberal Christian Protestant, among which is Lutheran. Coming in second was Quaker...94%

I've been told a Unitarian church would be a better fit for me...none are around. I'd go to a non-denominational church, if one were close.

while i did not go and re-take the religion selector test. i know my main one is liberal mainline prottie (and i am united church of canada...think united methodist), i know i am also close to liberal quakers and unitarian universalists. it is strange because while jesus is important to me, how i perceive him in terms of divinity, etc., is becoming more and more of a mystery the more time i spend working on my master of divinty. shamon is onto some of the problems i have had. i could write a book so i better just stop now. i may write more later but i am tired at the moment and need to work on something else before bed. but let me say before i do so that praxis (how one puts their beliefs into practice) is becoming far more important to me than what they say they believe.

btw, pocket and others, i go to school with several unitarians.

I've taken this test before, and it's the same this time as it was then ---

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)

2. Mahayana Buddhism (94%)

3. New Age (83%)

4. Unitarian Universalism (83%)

Actually, as many of you probably know, I don't like religion of any sort. That doesn't mean I'm not a spiritual person, I just don't like the organizations called "religions". Wink

I'm 100% Orthodox Quaker according to the quiz...while only 84% Catholic, which is what I really am! Well at least that's how I was raised.

Well, that quiz pegged me for a Mormon. And I'm Baptist/Methodist. To tell you the truth, I didn't quite understand all the answer choices and don't think others did either.

Where's Judaism in the poll?

I'm Jewish...I feel neglected now... Sad

And the trivia quiz thing:
Reform Judaism (100%)

Exactly what I am!

Reform Judaism is basically Judaism with modern principals. Orthodox Judaism is Judaism following the ancient principals from the BC years.

I have great respect for Jews, God's Chosen People. This year, I have spent a great deal of time reading the Old Testament and gaining a better understanding of Jewish history. Right now, I'm in the book of Jeremiah.

You shouldn't feel neglected at all, your religion was on the poll and it did come up for you.

There have been times when I've wanted to know more about the Catholic Religion since it goes so far back iin my family.
I DO NOT believe one should have to confess to a mere mortal man. Maybe this is one part of the Catholic religion that you all do not subscribe to either.

yeah... i do feel I that I can speak straight to God without confession... but still believe that I need to have a Confession to absolve me for my sins... this thru one of the sacraments of the Church

i know that the Catholic church has a lot of sacraments and rules that are strict... which makes it hard for some to follow that they move out of the Church... but then I feel that faith is not just in the sacraments, its what I believe in and sacraments are just symbolism of my belief....

anyways... I also see that many parents specially here (may happen in other religions and places)... have not been able to nurture or pass on to their children their belief properly that is why the some kids wander out in search of a "religion" to belong into.... parents have the obligation to impart to their children of the word of God....

Most of us that are a bit rebelious about religion is because we were brought up with the old time protestant preachers, who slapped the bible, stomped their feet and yelled and scared us!

God is a forgiving God and we do not need to be told in that way. You cannot scare a person into becoming a Christian. That happened a lot!

We all have to go with a faith that is right for us. Pau believes he still needs to confess to man. I still do not! Aren't we glad we live in a part of the world where we have the right to choose.

Religious Freedom or lack thereof has started lots of wars.
Many continue for centuries and are still going on.

Doh, I just realized by neglect you meant the poll attached to this post, not the religion tester thingy.
